Ahmad Mahmoud

Ahmad E'ta, known as Ahmad Mahmoud, was born in Ahvaz in December 1931; his paternal family, Kalhor Kurds, had come from Kermanshah to Dezful, his mother's town. A member of the Tudeh Party and a pupil at the officers' school, he was arrested after the 1953 coup d'état and endured prison and then internal exile, notably in Bandar-e Lengeh, on the Persian Gulf. He afterwards lived by humble trades: day labourer, driver, construction worker. He received the first Golshiri Prize for his last novel and died in Tehran of respiratory failure on 4 October 2002.
